Alice Springs Mayor Damien Ryan is pushing for an expansion to the viewing area on top of Anzac Hill in order to cope with an increased attendance of Anzac Day services.

Mayor Ryan says he has spoken to Federal Minister Snowdon about the idea and is hoping for a positive response.

[I approached Minister Snowdon] because of his position assisting the Prime Minister towards the Centenary of Anzac and he's offered to get back to us," he says.

"There are different funds out there between now and 2015 (the centenary)...I'd like to see a partnership between local, Territory and Federal Government."

Mr Ryan says there has been a renewal of interest around Anzac Day and more and more people are attending Anzac Day events like the Dawn and mid-morning services on Anzac Hill.

"There are so many more who are involved now in Anzac Day and it's great in our town to see how many schools march and go to the top of the hill, but not everyone can fit on that pad that was originally put up there."

"My vision is to build a slatted walkway out from the base so as we don't disturb Anzac Hill as it is, [because] Anzac Hill has lots of significance for lots of different people in our community."

"If we were at the back of the hill behind the Cenotaph looking towards the Gap...on your left hand sand it drops away down towards Anzac Oval,...that side there, you could build from about where the road joins, all the way round to where the Lions Walk comes up over the top."
